What to know about Zcash and Ethereum

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2016 by the team led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was the first widely used coin to apply zero-knowledge proofs, allowing transactions that are verified without revealing their details.

Sending and receiving ZEC

Transparent addresses start with t1, while unified and shielded addresses start with u1 or zs. Many exchanges accept only transparent addresses, so check which type the recipient supports before sending.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.

What Ethereum is used for

ETH is used to pay gas fees, as collateral in DeFi, for staking and as a settlement asset across the ecosystem. Layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism also use ETH for fees, which makes it the working currency of a large part of the crypto economy.
